P2P Lending (Mintos, PeerBerry)

Advertised 9-12% yields with buyback guarantees. Real net returns of 6-9% after defaults, originator failures, and platform-risk events stress-tested 2022-2024.

Real estate

REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts)

Real estate exposure without becoming a landlord — but the 2022-2024 rate environment broke the simple narrative. Math works in 2026; timing matters more than usual.
